ADJUSTABLE SLEEVE-CHART.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 690,214, d t d D b r 31, 1901.

Application filed September 25. 1901. Eerial No. 76,493. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, HARRY 0. WILSON, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Sleeve-Pattern of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to improvements in patterns for sleeves of garmentssuch as dresses, coats, and the likeand the'object is to provide a pattern of this character that may be quickly and easily adjusted to the desired measurements.

I will describe a sleeve-pattern embodying myinvention and then point out the novel features in the appended claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forminga part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a front view of a sleeve-pattern embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a back view thereof; and Fig. 3 is a section on the line a: so of Fig. 2, but drawn on a larger scale.

The sleeve-pattern comprises a curved top piece 20, having two pins 21 22 near its opposite ends, of which the former engages a curved slot 23 in the upper arm-piece 24. This upper arm-piece has a pin 25 engaging a slot 26 in the shoulder-piece 27, which has a downwardly-extended arm 28, corresponding to the upper arm-piece 24. The pin 22 of the top piece 20 passes through the shoulderpiece 27 and engages in a slot 29 in an extension shoulder-piece 30, which extends downward under the forward arm-piece 28 of the shoulder-piece 27 and is adapted to form a part of the outline of the sleeve-pattern. Below said extension shoulder-piece is arranged the elbow piece 31, provided with slots 32, engaged by pins 33 34, of which the former are fastened to the shoulder-piece 27, while the latter are fastened to the extension shoulder-piece 30 and engage horizontal slots in the shoulder-piece. The two slots 32 converge toward their lower ends, so that when the elbow-piece 31 is shoved in or out the pins 34 will be caused to travel toward and from the pins 33, thereby keeping the outline of the extension shoulder-piece 30 in register with the outline of the elbow-piece 31.

With the upper arm-piece 24 is connected, by pins 36 engaging a slot 37, a second elbowpiece 38. The lower arm-piece 39 is connected with the elbow'piece 38 by pins 40 engaging in a slot 41. The pins are here shown as connected to the part 38, and the slot is formed in the part 39. WVith the elbow-piece 31 another lower arm-piece 42 is connected by pins 43 44, the pin 43 operating in a slot 45 in the part 42, while the pin 44 operates in a slot 46 in the part 31. This lower arm-piece 42 has a bottom member 47 projecting approximately at right angles therefrom and provided with a slot 48, engaged by pins 49 upon a cuff-piece 50, which is pivotally connected with the lower end of the lower arm-piece 38 by a pin 51.

This sleeve-pattern is so constructed as to give upon its outside the pattern of the top part of the sleeve and with its inner outline the pattern of the under part of the sleeve. Along the curved lower edge of the shoulderpiece 27 is located a grad nation 52, and at the junction of the upper arm-pieces 24 and 28 with the elbow-pieces 31 and 38 are located corresponding graduations 53. A similar graduation 54 is located at the junction of the parts 31 and 42, and a cuif-graduation 55 is located at the lower edge of the part 47.

The sleeve-pattern is set at the top by moving the upper arm-piece until it indicates the proper number on the graduation 52, as indicated by the size around the arm. Then the elbow-pieces 31 and 38 are moved up or down until they indicate the same number on the graduations 53, this adjustment being made according to the size above the elbow. Then the lower arm-pieces 39 and 42 are adjusted according to the size below the elbow, as indicated by the graduation 54,,and finally the cuif-piece is adjusted on the graduation 55 according to the cud-measure. All the other parts follow the various adjustments, and at the same time, as described, the extension shoulder-piece always remains with its outline in registry with the outer edge of the e].- bow-piece with whichit connects.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. A sleeve-pattern provided with a shoulder-piece and an extension shoulder-piece transverse slots crossing said oblique slot,

pins secured to the extension shoulder-piece in a line parallel with the outer edge of said extension shoulder-piece, said pins passing through the transverse slots of the shoulderpiece and through the oblique slot of the elbow-piece, another set of pins secured to the shoulder-piece in a line parallel with the inner edge of said shoulder-piece, said pins engaging the other slot of the elbow-piece, and

I adjustable parts connecting the upper end of the elbow-piece with the lower end of the shoulder-piece and completing the outline of the pattern, substantially as specified.

2. A sleeve-pattern,consisting of an elbowpiece an upper arm-piece adj ustably secured to the elbow-piece, a shoulder-piece to which the upper end of the arm-piece is adjustably secured, said shoulder-piece having an arm portion a curved top piece adj ustably secured to the arm-piece and having its upper end pivoted to the shoulder-piece, an extension shoulder-piece having an arm portion and adj ustablysecu-red to the body and arm portions of the shoulder-piece, a second elbow-piece adjustably securedto the arm portions of the shoulder and extension shoulder-pieces, a lower arm-piece adjustably secured to the elbow pieces, one of said arm pieces being provided with an annular extension at its bot-tom, and a cufE-piece pivoted to one of the arm-pieces and adjustably secured to the extension of the arm piece, substantially as specified.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

HARRY 0. WILSON.
